New Doctor Who
Is actually pretty good.
I think I'd only seen one or two episodes before now, and somehow managed to find a the only lame ones in a consistently strong series. I went back and started from the beginning of the new series, and it's much better than my earlier impression. Even the effects are excellent, which is most un-Doctor-Whoish.
Apparently there are plans under way to bring back Blake's 7. If they do as good a job with that as the BBC has done with Doctor Who, I'll be there.
Update: Uh. Except for the episodes which are really, really terrible.

I can't see it. Blakes 7 was cheesy dialogue, cheesy sets, cheesy stories, and especially cheesy acting. The appeal of Blakes 7 was that it was crummy. It was high camp.
If it gets done again, and done well, that will drain all the charm out of it.

Steven, you just described the attraction of Doctor Who as well. And yet, the remake is not half-bad.

Well I've also enjoyed the remake, especially David Tennant and Billie Piper who made a great team.
I am now going through the first series of Torchwood - I didn't see the beginning of it on TV so when I watch some it didn't make sense - until I got the DVD's and started from the beginning. Some parts of the story lines are a bit far fetched, but otherwise great character building and very enjoyable. Much different from traditional Doctor Who - closer to Buffy.

Yep. I watched one epsiode on TV with you - I think it was Fear Her - and it just happened to be of the few bad ones. So I never bothered to watch any more until recently.
